Welcome to America! Land of the free market, and home of the rich shareholders, executives and CEOs who keep getting richer.
When you see the company profits, that $500 bonus that went straight to paying a car payment that was 3 months late or rent or anything else that keeps increasing in price — it’s disappointing at the moment for some I imagine..
I invest so much of myself. More than I should and then have to spend all the vacation time I earned on filling in the time I need to keep my average hours up. Because I desperately need medical insurance and since Obamacare made private insurance too expensive for employers, I have to work 4 hour shifts split amongst part-time employees now that cooperate pulls back on giving payroll for months as they do each year.
The rich Uppers Divvy out payroll numbers that will maximize their salaries and show favorable to the shareholders; and the uninsured, part-time, poor scramble to get heavy workloads somewhat (but never really) complete for angry, frustrated leaders who are rethinking their lives every time they are called for on the walkie.
(and having to hear how miserable they ALL sound is enough to kill morale as if their aren’t an abundance of reasons why the culture is getting worse by the day)
We all just want to have purpose don’t we? I want to go to work and be effective at whatever it is I do. If I, as a high performing, (and usually) self-motivated, self-sufficient team member feel so worthless, how the hell do you expect the lazy, entitled morons I’m ashamed to call the majority of my generation to unload your relentless freights in 4 hours with a budget that only gives us 3 inbound team members.
Yes, the company gives a model of processes, but doesn’t give the resources to do it. So you have to take hours from every work center just so you can get the first task of the day complete. Really makes for a successful day.
Does it ever get better?
